Bore in the 3 3/4" barrel is bright and shiny. It will rate a nine on a one to ten scale. Action is smooth and tight. The parkerized finish shows very little actual use. Grips are excellent with no cracks or chips. They show little wear and the checkering is still crisp. Markings are clear, correct, and original. Magazine is correct and excellent. I do have a Colt Archives letter. The pistol shipped to Springfield Armory January 30, 1945.
